3.6.2 SELF-DRILLING SCREWS
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Hilti self-drilling screws are designed to drill their own hole in steel base materials up to 1/2″ thick. These screws are available in a variety of head styles, thread lengths and drill-flute lengths for screw diameters #6 through 1/4″. Hilti self-drilling screws meet ASTM C1513, ASTM C954 and SAE J78 standards, as applicable.
Product features:
- Hex head for metal-to-metal applications
- Flush head for wood-to-metal applications
- For metal from 0.035″ to 0.500″ thick
- Winged reamers for wood over 1/2″ thick
- Stitch screws for light gauge metal-to-metal
- Sealing screws for water-resistant fastenings

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
For a general discussion of Hilti screw fastener installation, reference Section 3.6.1.7.
For allowable diaphragm shear loads and stiffness values for steel roof or floor deck utilizing Hilti self-drilling screws as frame or sidelap fasteners, reference Section 3.5 and download Hilti’s Profis DF software at www.hilti.com/decking (US), or www.hilti.ca (Canada).
To estimate the number of sidelap screws on a steel roof or floor deck project, reference Section 3.5.1.5. Warning: Because of the potential for delayed hydrogen-assisted stress corrosion cracking, many hardened steel fasteners are not recommended for use with dissimilar metals or chemically treated wood when moisture may be present or in corrosive environments.

The importance of IBC-compliant screws.
ICC-ES ESR-2196 (Steel and Metal screw report) and ESR-3891 (Interior Finish/Drywall screw report) provide IBC recognition of Hilti’s Self-Drilling Screw Fasteners. This recognition was based on a comprehensive and rigorous independent evaluation of Hilti’s Self-Drilling Screw Fasteners to the latest IBC code requirements in ICC-ES AC118 Acceptance Criteria for Self-Tapping Screw Fasteners, as well as the AISI S904 and AISI S905 test standards. AC118 provides the IBC code recognition and quality assurance for screw fasteners. ICC-ES ESR-2196 recognizes Steel and Metal Hilti screws which are used to connect cold-formed steel members together. ICC-ES ESR-3891 recognizes Interior Finish/ Drywall screws which are used to connect gypsum board materials to cold-formed steel base material cover the HWH, HHWH, PPH, PPFH, PBH, PWH, PTH, PPCH, TPCH and PFTH head style Hilti screws. To ensure IBC compliance of screws on your next project, reference ESR-2196 and ESR-3891.
